Anyone have a view on these? Seems to good to be any good tbh

MEGA ZOOM BINOCULARS 20x180x100 POWERFULL | eBay

surely too cheap to be any good. has BAK4 which has my interest a little but simple things like spelling mistakes and poorly worded adds makes me think they are just crappy knock offs

You are right about that. Any zoom binoculars is going to be rubbish. Mega zoom binoculars will be even worse.

Avoid

20 - 180 x 70 not 100!!!

Don't waste your hard earned cash!

I don't quite understand the specification of these bins. It says 20-180x100, then states that the objective lens diameter is 70mm. At 180x, the exit pupil (for 70mm OB) will be less than 0.4mm. Not much light there!

I should steer well clear of them!

Indeed

A guy sells these at a local a local car boot every week and I have inspected and looked through them.

They are almost unusable in daylight !

An old pair of 10x50's from the charity shop for £10.00 is a much better investment and use of your money.

Plus you can try them out.

Everything about that add screams "DON'T DO IT"

Seriously, 180x in a hand-held instrument? Looking through them would make you believe the universe itself had a case of Parkinson's Disease.
